Crete, Greece
per person
Away from the hustle and bustle of mainland Greece, you'll find Crete resplendent with unspoiled greenery and miles of peaceful sands for a dose of tranquillity only the Mediterranean can offer. In the seaside fishing village of Agia Pelagia, you’ll be able to experience traditional Greek culture and authentic cuisine, while in Hersonissos you’re just a short distance from Heraklion, home of the Palace of Knossos and the Minoan art of the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. If you’re more intrigued by the stunning scenery, opt to take a boat tour of the coast where you’re guaranteed to get Instagram-worthy snaps. Crete has spectacular landscapes which make for memorable hikes too. Trek through gorges, meander among olive groves and tackle some of the island's highest peaks and you’ll be in for a breath-taking view every step of the way. Or visit the Gorge of Mili, a peaceful place for a walk with some interesting things to explore, including an abandoned village and a church built into the stone. Crete is hard to beat!
